\nWell, huh, let\u2019s see I am reading a couple of books right now. “The\u00a0American Religion (The Emergence of the Post-Christian Nation)” by Harold Bloom and “The\u00a0Mystical Christ” by\u00a0Manly P. Hall. Also I am listening to an audio CD right now,\u00a0“Washington’s Crossing” by David Hackett Fischer which is great if anybody is into U.S. history.<\/em>

\n<\/em>2) What hangs above your mantel?
\nNot much above the mantel, just a mirror, but opposite the mirror (reflected in) is a\u00a0painting by Emily Plewe titled “Pict”, an abstract that is 48\u201d x 48\u201d in\u00a0size.<\/em>
\n
\n<\/em>3) What artist, living or dead, would you choose to paint, sculpt or photograph your portrait?
\nI really do not like the idea of somebody doing my portrait, but I\u00a0would like to have sat for Alberto Giacometti. He was not concerned with transferring\u00a0reality directly onto\u00a0canvas and would not cover the tracks that plainly showed his process.\u00a0He sought to\u00a0convey his perception of reality so in turn, the living presence of\u00a0the individual.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
